Custom Dentures at Mast Dental
Missing teeth affect far more than appearance. They change the way you eat, the way you speak, and the way you feel about yourself. Over time, untreated tooth loss also causes the remaining teeth to shift and the jawbone to deteriorate, compounding the problem further.
At Mast Dental in Wilmington, NC, Dr. Mast provides custom-crafted dentures and partial dentures that restore your smile and your quality of life. Whether you've lost all of your teeth or just several, there's a solution designed specifically for your situation — and we'll help you find it.

Complete Dentures — Full Smile Restoration
Complete dentures are the right solution when all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both have been lost. Custom-made to fit your mouth precisely and crafted to look natural, complete dentures restore your ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
Complete dentures are removable appliances that rest on the gum tissue and are held in place through natural suction, the contours of your mouth, and optionally, denture adhesive. Because every patient's mouth is different, getting a well-fitting set of dentures requires careful measurement, multiple fitting stages, and precise adjustments — all of which Dr. Mast handles with the thoroughness and attention to detail his patients have come to expect.
Partial Dentures — When You Still Have Natural Teeth
If you've lost several teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining, a partial denture is likely the right solution. A removable partial denture replaces multiple missing teeth while working alongside and preserving your remaining natural teeth.
Partials consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, connected by a metal or flexible framework that clasps onto neighboring natural teeth for stability. They are crafted to match the color, size, and shape of your existing teeth, blending naturally into your smile.
Beyond aesthetics, partials serve an important functional purpose: they restore proper chewing and speech, and they prevent the remaining natural teeth from drifting into the gaps left by missing teeth, a shift that, if left unchecked, disrupts your bite and can lead to more tooth loss over time.

What Dentures and Partials Do for You
Restore Chewing Function
Missing teeth make it difficult — sometimes impossible — to eat a normal diet. Dentures and partials bring back the ability to chew a wide range of foods, supporting better nutrition and overall health.
Improve Speech
Tooth loss affects pronunciation and speech clarity. A well-fitted denture restores normal tongue and lip positioning, making speech natural again.
Preserve Facial Structure
When teeth are lost, the jawbone begins to resorb and facial muscles lose support, causing a sunken or aged appearance. Dentures help maintain the natural fullness and contour of your face.
Prevent Further Tooth Shifting
Partial dentures fill gaps that would otherwise cause surrounding natural teeth to migrate out of position, protecting the stability of your remaining dentition.
Restore Confidence
Perhaps most importantly, dentures give you your smile back. Many patients describe the impact on their self-confidence as transformative.
